IBM provides a lot of information on message / error codes, but unfortunately the information is spread over a number of manuals.  This document is meant to act as a starting point to track down those sources of information and also to give solutions to common error codes.  Messages can be both good and bad, so the seeing a message does not necessarily indicate an error has occurred.

Common Messages

This is a work in progress...

Code Message / Cause / Solution / Other References
0031-214

Message: 0031-214 pmd: chdir </somedirectory>

Cause: Could not change to specified directory.

Solution: Verify that the directory exists and that you have permission to access it.

Other References:

 
1525-013

Message: 1525-013 The sequential or stream WRITE statement cannot be completed because an errno value of 88 (Cannot exceed the user or group quota.)

Cause: Filesystem quota exceeded.

Solution: Move data from the working directory to long term storage ($ARCHIVE) or request an increase in quota for the filesystem being used.

  • /usr/local/bin/qcheck (ARSC only)
  • /usr/lpp/mmfs/bin/mmlsquota

 
1525-108

Message: 1525-108 Error encountered while attempting to allocate a data object.

Cause:

  1. value of maxdata is not set high enough or program requires more memory that can be addressed with 32 bit addresses.
  2. The shell limits are not set high enough for the amount of memory requested to be allocated.

Solution:
  1. Add or increase the value of -bmaxdata on the linking line of the code, or recompile and relink using 64 bit addressing (i.e. -q64)
  2. Increase the shell limits using the limit command (csh/tcsh) or ulimit (sh/ksh/bash) or data_limit loadleveler keyword.
